Tucked away in the heart of a thriving Monmouthshire village is this attractive detached house, much improved by the present owners, who have created a beautiful contemporary home. The garden complements the house and is a perfect place to enjoy the stunning views. Within walking distance of the ancient church, village pub, post office and historic castle.

Overview

Built in the 1970's, this beautifully presented contemporary home is tucked away down a country lane on the edge of the historic village of Grosmont. The house has the unusual name of 'Sally Rucks' which we understand is from the combination of 'Sally Port' (of Grosmont castle) and Rucks - a concealed entry where troops could Sally out to attack/defend from the enemy and where people came in and out of the fortification, the ancient lane down from the gate has the same name. In keeping with the period, the house offers space and light and has been tastefully modernised with much attention to detail. Located behind the historic village church and within walking distance of the local village pub, post office and castle, this house offers privacy but with the convenience of local amenities and the opportunity to become part of a thriving village community.

Grosmont is located equidistance between Abergavenny, Monmouth and Hereford making it an ideal location for access to national road and rail links. This historic village, which boasts both modern and period houses, is surrounded by stunning countryside which can be enjoyed from the gardens, designed to relax and entertain outdoors. The house offers 3 reception rooms, all with their unique features including a wood burning stove, glazed doors to the gardens and wooden floors. The contemporary kitchen/breakfast room is comprehensively fitted with modern white cupboards with a marble worksurface over. The stylish curved doors add an interesting design to the kitchen as does the dresser with glass display cupboard. Integral appliances include a Rangemaster cooker, dishwasher and microwave oven. Off the entrance hall is a cloakroom/W.C and to the side of the house, accessed via an interconnecting door, is a utility room and store room.
